It's in my sons room and he's sleeping right now so I can't tell you :) <BR/><BR/>I LOVE your activities. Made my brain start working for things to do with my kids!

The way we get around it is to coat the pasta as you describe but then spread it out in a tray and put it in a low oven for 5-10 minutes. Don't leave it for too long or you end up with brittle pasta that smells burnt! I learnt that the hard way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
